Let me start by saying this stand is a BEAST. I was skeptical about putting my expensive Senville 24,000 BTU unit on any old bracket, but the galvanized steel construction feels like it could survive a hurricane. The rubber pads actually make a noticeable difference in vibration noise - my unit runs quieter now than when it was wall-mounted!

The height adjustment feature saved me during our rainy season. Being able to crank it up to 12 inches kept my condenser safe from backyard flooding that would've ruined my unit. The UV coating still looks new after 6 months of Texas sun beating down on it.

Now for the not-so-great part: the instructions might as well be hieroglyphics. I'm handy with tools and still spent 30 minutes trying to interpret their 'assume you know everything' approach. Thankfully the extra fasteners included saved me when I almost stripped a bolt. Pro tip: dry-fit everything before tightening!

Despite the assembly headache, once installed this thing hasn't budged an inch - even when my dog decided it was his new scratching post. For the price and durability, I'd buy it again (maybe just watch a YouTube tutorial first).
